Title: OTP, the Middleware for Concurrent Distributed Scalable Architectures
Proposer: francesco_cesarini
Type: Presentation
Duration: 90 minutes
Description:
While Erlang is a powerful programming language used to build
distributed, fault tolerant systems with requirements of high
availability, these complex systems require middleware in the form of
reusable libraries, release, debugging and maintenance tools together
with design principles and patterns used to style your concurrency model
and your architecture.
In this talk, Francesco will introduce the building blocks that form
OTP, the defacto middleware that ships with the Erlang/OTP distribution.
He will cover OTP’s design principles, describing how they provide
software engineering guidelines that enable developers to structure
systems in a scalable and fault tolerant way, without the need to
reinvent the wheel.
Talk objectives: Introduce a powerful framework which reduces errors and
helps developers achieve robustness and fault tolerance without
affecting time to market.
Target audience: Erlang beginners and engineers and architects implementing scalable, server side systems.
Jon: Francesco notes - I've attached the talk I recently gave at TechMesh in London, on which this talk will be based.
